A skier's evaluation,
By Gilbert E. Green (Baytown, Texas United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bold Tracks: Teaching Adaptive Skiing (Paperback)
This is basically a technical book for instructors, BUT, a handicapped skier can benefit by reading the section that pertains basically to their situation. Also it is a confidence builder to know there are people out there who really know their stuff and are not just there for the Buck$.
5.0 out of 5 stars
